Windows XP system common built-in at command

The AT command, which is a built-in command in Windows XP, is also comparable to "Scheduled Tasks" in Windows, and the AT command has more powerful and magical powers in terms of planned scheduling, task management, and processing of work transactions. The AT command can run commands and programs on a specified computer at a specified time and date.

We can enter the AT command at "start → run" and take a look at some example analysis of the AT command below.

1, timing shutdown

Command: at 21:00 Shutdown–s–t30

After this command runs, to 21:00 points, the computer will appear "System Shutdown" dialog box, and the default 30 seconds delay automatic shutdown.

2, Timing reminders

Command: At 12:00 Net Send 10.10.36

.122 It's time to date with a friend, get ready to go!

Where net send is a Windows internal program, you can send messages to other users and computers on the network. 10.10.36.122 is the IP address of the local computer. This feature is also known as the Messenger service in Windows.

3. Automatically run batch files

If the company's data is very important and requires a backup at a specified date/time, run:

Command: at 1:00am/every:saturday My_backup.bat

In this way, in each Saturday (Saturday) Morning 1:00, the computer timed to start the My_backup.bat batch file. My_backup.bat is a batch file that you have compiled that contains multiple commands for a full data backup of the system.

4. Cancel the plan that has been arranged

Command: At 5/delete

Sometimes the plan you have arranged may be temporarily changed so that you can delete the plan in time with the above command (5 is the ID number assigned to the scheduled command), and, of course, you can reschedule it after you delete the plan.
